Tango in the Night Expanded Edition- the Stevie songs

[brad975]

"What Has Rock 'n Roll Ever Done For You" (at least the demo we know) was surely recorded with our own musicians and sent to the Mac for consideration. So that's probably why it's not included. I don't think Lindsey and the band got around to arranging their own version to any significant extent. And the demo reminds me so much of something like "Addicted to Love" that it wouldn't have really fit well on the album, even though it's a pretty fun song.

As far as "Joan of Arc" goes, I'm not convinced this was recorded by the Mac. It just sounds so spartan that if the band did work on it, they didn't get anywhere close to finishing it. I've always been a little mystified by its appeal.

"Ooh My Love" is a highlight of OSOTM (even though the repetitive ending goes on too long IMO), and I think the song could have also fit the mood of Tango well. So it will be interesting to hear if it sounds like a missed opportunity in the hands of the Mac.

I wonder if the "run-through" of "Juliet" is the same as the demo on YouTube where she abrasively yells and "wells!" her way through it. I never thought that sounded particularly Mac-like, but if it was just a studio jam, maybe. I really like the version of "Juliet" that ended up on OSOTM, so I'm kind of glad it didn't make Tango, even though it might have turned out better than WISYA.
